DLA Piper Chile

The full-service competition and antitrust practice at DLA Piper Chile consistently leverages the expertise of the Santiago office’s corporate and M&A departments for major transactions and compliance programmes. Other key areas include anti-competitive behaviour investigations (so as to prevent potential risks) and Chilean National Competition Authority (FNE)-conducted market studies. The three-member group also acts in litigation before Chile’s Competition Court (TDLC), as well as civil suits for anti-competitive behaviour. With over 20 years’ experience in antitrust matters, firm founder and senior counsel Felipe Bahamondez acts in TDLC litigation, FNE investigations and merger control procedures; of counsel Sofía O’Ryan's career includes working at the FNE for seven years; and mid-level associate Bárbara Galetovic advises clients from the consumer, retail, technology, aviation and industrial sectors. Since publication, O'Ryan has left the firm to establish her own practice - effective as of November 2025.
